WARSAW, Poland Solidarity leader Lech Walesa sealed a historic deal with the government Wednesday to re s­tore the independent trade union after a seven-year ban and give Poland its first dem ­ocratic elections since World War II.

Walesa, representing the op­position, and Gen. Czeszlaw Kiszczak, the interior m inister

representing Poland’s commu­nist government, approved the package that em erged from two months of negotiations on political and economic reform s, as the 57 participants in the talks gathered for a final time at the “ round tab le” in the Council of Ministers Palace.

“There is no freedom without Solidarity,” Walesa said at the beginning of a 10-minute ad­dress to the table in which he explained why the opposition

F ired tanker captain Joseph Hazelwood, 42, surrendered to police on New York’s Long Is­land and a judge set his bail at $500,000, up from a prosecu­to r’s recom m endation of $25,000. He had been sought since Saturday on a fugitive w arran t on m isdem eanor charges of operating the tanker while drunk.

“These m isdem eanors are of such a m agnitude that has never been equaled, a t least in this country,” Judge Kenneth Rohl said as Hazelwood was a r ­raigned. “He’s got to think about that. We have a man- m ade destruction that has not been equaled, probably, since H iroshim a.”

Salvage crews pumped com­pressed air into the $125 million ship and floated it off Bligh Reef, 25 miles from the port of Valdez.

VALDEZ, Alaska -T he tanker Exxon Valdez was freed Wednesday from the reef that ripped its hull and spilled more than 10 million gallons of crude oil, and Alaska’s governor said the Coast Guard would take over the cleanup from Exxon.

Elsewhere, the captain of the Exxon Valdez surrendered to police and was ordered held on $1 million bond.

Cleanup crews continued to skim mayonnaise-thick oil from Prince William Sound, but progress was slow and the oil had spread over an area larger than Delaware. The anim al death toll rose and sal­mon hatcheries rem ained en­dangered.

In Juneau, Alaska Gov. Steve Cowper said he asked the Coast Guard to take over the much- maligned and slowly progress­ing cleanup effort from Exxon, and that the federal agency had agreed.

Cowper said the Coast Guard should be better able to handle coordination and m anagem ent of the cleanup than Exxon, which he said was too bureau­cratic.

“ Maybe th a t’s been the prob­lem all along. You need a mil­itary system to get things done,” the governor said.

“ We appreciate the efforts of Exxon -we think they were done in good faith. But we think there has to be a much more disciplined m anagem ent struc­tu re ,” Cowper said at a Capitol news conference.

P resident Bush earlier had sent a team of high-level offi­cials to Valdez and determ ined that federal m anagem ent of the cleanup w asn’t necessary.

Although Cowper said he didn’t want to be “extrem ely critica l” of Exxon, a letter sent to the Coast Guard by a state environmental official Isaid E x­xon had been unresponsive.

“ Exxon has failed to provide ... the information necessary to m ake sound planning recom ­mendations regarding the cleanup of oil and the protec­tion of resources,” wrote Lynn Kent, chief of the state Oil and Hazardous Substance Spill Response Section.

Exxon spokesman Henry B eathard said the company disagreed with charges it w asn’t handling the cleanup properly and thought Exxon was the best organization to m anage the effort.

WORLD BRIEFS

London’s subway system was crippled by a strike Wednesday as more than 60 percent of the tra in drivers shut down service to wide areas of the capital. The Circle, Metropolitan, District, E ast London and Jubilee lines were closed, and the Piccadilly line, which serves Heathrow Airport, closed after a few hours of service. Normal service was m aintained only on the Northern, Victoria and Central lines. W ednesday’s action was taken by drivers seeking a pay ra ise of $108 per week for operating trains without a second crew m em ber, known as a guard, who operates the doors.

Vietnam will withdraw from Cambodia by Sept. 30, nearly 11 years after an invasion that ended the brutal Khmer Rouge regim e and started a civil war. W ednesday’s announcement, issued as a joint statem ent in Phnom Penh, Hanoi and Vientiane, capital of Laos, did not indicate any conditions were attached. It said an international commission including Canada, Poland, Indonesia and India was welcome to supervise the withdrawal, and called for an end to outside m ilitary aid.

The body of Vladimir Lenin is in no im m ediate danger of rotting away, the Communist P arty newspaper reported Wed­nesday. The Soviet founder’s body has been lying in state for 65 years. The body lies beneath glass in a special marble-and- granite mausoleum on Red Square. F ive days a week, visitors are hustled past the body in a dimly lighted room where no photographs are allowed. There has long been speculation that the technology did not exist when Lenin died in 1924 to preserve him, and that the body is a wax dummy. In the P ravda interview, a laboratory spokesman confirmed that a t first, Soviet scientists did not think they could preserve the body of the revered leader. Lenin’s wife, Nadezhda K rupskaya, was against having Lenin embalm ed, but she was overruled by the Communist P arty lead­ership.

Mrs. G ardner’s body was found last month buried near railroad tracks behind her paren ts’ Bedford, Ind., home, where she had been living. Mrs. G ardner had filed for divorce last December. The final divorce hearing had been scheduled the day her body was found. According to court documents, au t­horities believe G ardner parked his truck near Mrs. G ardner’s paren ts’ home the night of M arch 1, waited for her to return home and then stabbed her to death. The body was found the next day.

In the heat of the night...

My dorm room is too hot.Unfortunately, the heat can’t be attributed to

the three gorgeous girls who live there or the fabulous parties held in its confines.

I t’s too damned hot because we can’t adjust our therm ostat.

In most rooms, tem perature can ideally be regulated by turning a knob or adjusting a valve on the radiator. Regulating the heat in my room, however, typically m eans prying open a window or shedding a sweater.

Although RAs caution open windows m ay in­vite prowlers or lonely men, my room m ates and I take our chances. After all, it would take Spiderm an to scale F arley ’s walls.

On the verge of heat stroke and possible dehydration, w e’ve filed countless complaints about the soaring temps. Sometimes our re ­quests are actually heeded, and the tem pera­ture dips below the hundred degree m ark for a few days. Eventually, however, the m ercury gradually climbs back into the nineties, and we’re soon left basking in our tropical hotbox.

There’s no problem in the early autum n or late spring, because the hea t’s shut off. In December, however, when most South Bend students are bundled up in wool blankets and flannel pajam as, my room m ates and I are sporting tank tops and sucking ice cubes. In fact, it’s so hot, we have all three of our fans running simultaneously, resulting in tornado winds in the epicenter of the room.

Nighttime is particularly wretched. I sleep on the bottom bunk with a window above my head. Directly behind me, beneath the window, is a three foot radiator.

From October to April, the rad ia to r emits h e a t- whether we like it or not. Maybe - un- beknowst to any of u s - there’s actually a way to turn down the therm ostat, but we’ve never quite m astered the technique. This lack of me­chanical expertise results in m any a hot, sleep­less night, and led us to dub the heater the “ towering inferno.”

By early morning, cool breezes finally drift through the window, but, alas, they provide no relief. Since the heater is strategically located between the bed and the window, every

From October to April, the radiator emits heat-whether we like it or not.’

sem blance of a cool breeze is effectively cooked before it reaches me. Even an Arctic wind would thaw in our room.

The rad ia tor not only converts our dorm room into a sweltering sweatbox, but also constantly em its strange gurgling and hissing sounds like a geyser readly to spew scalding steam .

Fearing an actual explosion from “ Old F aith ­ful,” I ’ve decided to sleep with my head facing away from the window and my feet by the radiator. This way, I’m able to catch an oc­casional breeze on my baked brow if someone opens the door quickly, and once in a while I can feel a draft accross my face from a hole in the floor somewhere nearby. (I have forced myself not to consider the ram ifications of that last fact.)

When I finally do fall asleep, I have dream s of “Body H eat,” “ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “ Out of A frica,” so I guess there are some cul­tural advantages to living in a steam bath.

Don’t let anyone tell you the upper Midwest is frigid in winter. I t’s a well- disguised fact, but the Torrid Zone is actually located on the third floor of Farley Hall in northern Indiana. In fact, my room m ates and I a re probably the only college students in Am erica who dream of heading north for Spring Break and fleeing to Iceland in April.

WASHINGTON -The White House on Wednesday accused Soviet P resident Mikhail S. Gorbachev of failing to put ac­tions behind his rhetorical sup­port for peace in Central America and called on the Soviets to end m ilitary aid to Nicaragua.

In a strong criticism that reflected clear disappointment with Gorbachev’s much- awaited speech Tuesday in Havana, White House Press Secretary M arlin Fitzw ater said continued Soviet activity in Central America will affect U.S.-Soviet relations.

He declined, however to specify how the adm inistration might express its displeasure.

Fitzw ater noted that Gorbac­hev had denounced the export of revolution, but added:

“ While his words about not exporting revolution are wel­comed, they are not matched by deeds which would give

those words credence.“ Today, we call upon the

Soviets to cut off their half­billion dollar annual m ilitary aid to N icaragua. The Soviets continue to pour arm s into Nicaragua, a country whose arm y is already larger than those of all their neighbors combined.”

A day earlier, F itzw ater had said that Soviet spokesman Gennady Gerasim ov’s sta te­m ents against the export of revolution appeared to be a positive sign. Wednesday, however, F itzw ater said that while “ we can hold out a little optimism on the basis of the w ords,” the Bush adm inistra­tion still looks for actions to back them up.

U.S. officials had said that Gorbachev’s visit this week to the Soviet ally would be a good tim e for him to show signs of his “ new thinking” by moving to withdraw m ilitary support from the leftist N icaraguan government, or to use his influ­ence to push N icaragua into dem ocratic reform s.

A police spokesman said most of the casualties Wednes­day were in Moslem West Beirut, where shells fired by Aoun’s gunners hit three vegetable m arkets and the B arbir hospital, one of the Mos­lem sector’s four m ajor medi­cal centers.

WASHINGTON -R ising prices are forcing young couples to delay one part of the Am erican dream -owning their own home - even as the num ber of available houses is growing more than twice as fast as the population, the Census Bureau said Wednes­day.

Over the decade that began in 1975, m edian prices for a first home rose 125 percent, from $27,100 to $61,000 in 1985, while the average income of m arried couples renting their home, and aged 25 to 29, rose only 80 percent, from $12,300 to $22,200, the bureau reported.

The result, Census housing analyst F. John Devaney said, is that couples who used to move from renting to owning in their 20s are now largely delaying the transition into their 30s or la ter because they can no longer qualify for

want.In 1975 three-fourths of

m arried couples aged 25 to 35 qualified for an 80 percent m ortgage, a figure that fell to less than half by 1985, the study found.

Over the sam e period, the na­tion’s housing stock grew by 26 percent, while the U.S. popula­tion rose by just 11 percent, the Census Bureau reported in its new analysis, “ Housing in America, 1985-86.”

Helping absorb the growing num ber of available homes are the trend toward second-home ownership and a shrinkage in average household size, from 2.94 in 1975 to 2.69 a decade later.

Divorce and separation, up sharply in recent years, have turned one household into two, Devaney observed. “ One in 10 homeowner units is a woman living alone,” he said.

In addition, m any elderly

widows continue to m aintain their homes at the sam e time increasing num bers of young people are postponing m ar­riage.

The Census Bureau report was released just a day after the Federal Home Loan Bank Board reported that conven­tional m ortgage interest ra tes rose in M arch to their highest level since just before the 1987 stock m arket crash.

The board said the national average for conventional, single-family loans jum ped to 11.36 percent in early March, up from 11.11 percent in early February.

While ren ters a re facing steeper obstacles to owning their first home, the report said that people who already own a house are m ore able to buy a second home.

The bureau reported that “vacan t” housing rose from 2.5 million units in 1940 to 11.5 mil­lion in 1985 -m ean ing the United States has m ore unused housing than the entire housing stock of Canada.

But that category includes some 5.4 million homes that are seasonal or recreational residences, the report said.

Long sworn into U.S. CongressAssociated Press

WASHINGTON -J i l l Long, who scored a Democratic vic­tory in Dan Quayle’s old con­gressional district last month, was sworn into office in the House of Representives on Wednesday, drawing applause and a standing ovation from both Republicans and Democrats.

Long pledged to put aside any partisan differences in her new duties.

“ I want my colleagues here to know how committed I am to extending my hand not just to D emocrats but also to Republicans, because by working together we can solve those challenges of the next century ,” Long said.

The newest m em ber of

Congress took the oath of of­fice, which was adm inistered by House Speaker Jim Wright, a t m idafternoon and was quickly surrounded by col­leagues, shaking hands and clapping her on the back.

Long, 36, from Larwill in Whitley County, won a special election in Indiana’s 4th con­gressional district after Rep. Dan Coats, a Republican, was appointed to fill out the Senate term of Vice P resident Quayle.

In a M arch 28 special election Long defeated Republican Dan Heath, winning 65,160 votes, or 51 percent, to 63,388, or 49 per­cent, for Heath. In doing so she won back for D emocrats a seat the GOP had controlled since Quayle’s first run for office in 1976.

Her victory also enhanced the Democratic edge in In-

However, Indiana Secretary of State Joseph H. Hogsett sent Wright a letter confirming Long’s election and stating that no recount of ballots had been requested.

Long’s swearing in brought Indiana’s congressionaldelegation back to full strength. The seat had been em pty since Coats resigned Jan . 3 to move to the Senate.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON -Secretary of State Jam es A. Baker III said Thursday he was encouraged by suggestions by Israeli P rim e Minister Yitzhak Sham ir for settling the Arab Israeli dispute.

Baker commented after a two-hour meeting with Shamir that the secretary called “ very productive, useful and very friendly.”

For his part, Sham ir said he had offered “ some ways to solve” problems in the Mideast and rem ark ed :

“ I feel we have started a very serious discussion. Our con­versation was very friendly.”

Details were not disclosed. Sham ir said last week he

would propose elections among the 1.7 million Palestinian Arabs who live under Israeli control on the West Bank and in Gaza, with the aim of picking leaders to negotiate with Israel over the Palestinians’ future.

Shamir said after the session with Baker that he would pursue bringing peace to the Mideast with President Bush on Thursday at the White House.

Israel has controlled the West Bank and Gaza since its lightning victory over Egypt, Jordan and Syria in the 1967 Six- Day War. On Monday, Bush called on Israel to end what he said was its “ occupation” as part of an overall settlem ent with the Arabs.

Since December 1987, when the Palestinians launched a concerted cam paign to chal­lenge Israel, the territories have been shrouded by vio­lence in which 419 Palestinians and 18 Israelis have died.

Sham ir has ruled out negotiating with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which he holds responsible for that violence and for an unceasing cam paign of terrorism against Israel.

He told a conference of Jewish American organization leaders that sitting with the PLO would “ bring d isaster.”

Instead, he has sought to revive the 1978 Camp David agreem ents’ promise of a transitional period of autonomy for the Palestinians and then negotiations for an overall settlement.

“ The prim e m inister has m ade some suggestions,” Baker said. “ We are going to continue our discussion with the objective of moving the peace process forward, if it’s possible to do so. They were very encouraging. Hopefully they will form the basis under which we can move the peace process forw ard.”

Sham ir follows Egyptian P resident Hosni M ubarak to Washington, who said toward the end of his visit Tuesday that he saw no way to stop the vio­lence in the territories.

500 greet Bowen upon return homeAssociated Press

SOUTH BEND -A fter years of public service as a state legislator, Indiana’s governor and the Reagan Adm inistra­tion’s top medical adviser, Otis R. Bowen is happy to be back on his M arshall County farm .

“ Frankly, we’ve been in so many hot seats that it’s great not to be on a schedule, not to have to report to anyone and not to have to set any a la rm ,” Bowen said Tuesday night at Notre D am e’s Joyce Athletic and Convocation Center.

Nearly 500 people welcomed Bowen and his wife, Rose, back to Indiana after his three years as President R eagan’s secre­tary of health and hum an ser­vices.

Bowen said he had no inten­tion of running for office or ac­cepting a full-time appoint­ment. The popular form er governor, a physician who now lives on a five-acre farm at Bremen, said he would return to his hobbies of fishing, reading and gardening.

South Bend Mayor Joseph E. Kernan presented Bowen with a key to the city and Steven C ram er of Bethel College gave him a gold key to the Otis and Elizabeth Bowen Library. The library -named for Bowen and his late first w ife- houses Bowen’s papers and memorabilia.

Bowen, 71, was speaker of the Indiana House of R epresenta­tives from 1967 to 1972, when he was elected to the first of his two term s as governor.

points on the basis of their per­formance in several areas, in­cluding gym nastic routines, stunts, cheers, personality, dance, appearance and spirit. A total of 285 points was possi­ble for men and 335 for women.

Try-outs were held both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. While both men and wo­men participated in both rounds of competition, only female hopefuls were cut after the first night, according to Gomez. Gomez said 10 women were eliminated in the first cut. The rem aining female contes­tants and all the m ale prospec-

tives were then interviewed by six judges before proceeding to the second round.

Judges for the event included current cheerleading coach M aria M ajerek; form er Notre Dame football player Jim Hum­bert; Phyllis Stone and Lisa LaHame, two form er Notre Dame cheerleaders; Melanie Johnson, a gym nasitcs instruc­tor from “ Gymnasitics Mic- h iana” ; ” and National Cheer- leading Association instructor Tom Dickerson.

Sophomore Claudia Limardo commented, “There was really a lot of competition. I guess what it really cam e down to was not cracking under pres­su re .”

Eastern Airlines deal falls throughA ssociated Press

NEW YORK -F o r the second time in a week, form er baseball commissioner P eter V. Ueber­roth thought he had a deal to purchase E astern Airlines only to see the agreem ent with Texas Air Corp. Chairman F rank Lorenzo fall through at the last minute.

A source fam iliar with the negotiations said the two sides reached an accord Tuesday night and were set to make the announcement Wednesday. The source said the deal began to unravel on Wednesday m or­ning, as Ueberroth believed

Lorenzo was again changing the term s of the agreem ent.

“ Both sides thought they had a deal but there were some sticking points that kept negotiations continuing instead of concluding,” the source said.' Ueberroth, who returned to

New York late Tuesday night from his California home, began negotiations with Lorenzo at 7:30 a.m . EST Wed­nesday and continued them un­til around 8 p.m. The source told The Associated P ress that negotiations would resum e Thursday morning.

“ They don’t have a deal,” the source said. “There’s still

negotiations and sticking points. I t ’s not done.”

The deal had appeared to be completed Wednesday afte r­noon, when a New York public relations firm that works with Lorenzo was told to ren t a hotel room for a 7 p.m. news confer­ence to announce it. At 6:35 p.m., the public relations firm was told there would be no an­nouncement.

Separately, the U.S. bank­ruptcy court appointed Wash­ington attorney David Shapiro as exam iner in the E astern bankruptcy reorganizationcase.

Bush proposes $441 million for educationAssociated Press

WASHINGTON -P residen t Bush, who cam paigned on a promise to be “ the education president,” on Wednesday sent Congress a $441 million educa­tion package designed to rew ard and promote school im ­provements.

“ We’re going to take action -action to m ake excellence in education not just a rallying cry, but a classroom reality ,” Bush said at a Rose Garden ceremony outside the White House.

His “ Excellence in E duca­tion Act,” based in part on cam paign pledges, would rew ard outstanding schools, teachers and science scholars, encourage districts to create m agnet schools with special curriculum s, push states to develop new ways to certify teachers, help drug-ridden u r­ban schools and bolster the en­dowments of historically black colleges.

“These education initiatives don’t constitute a cure-all, a quick fix,” Bush said. He added

later that “ I don’t have to tell you about the current federal budget situation. Money is tight and we wish that more funds were available to spend on all levels of education.”

Administration officials said Wednesday that the money they are seeking for the initia­tives would be in addition to the $21.9 billion in spending author­ity already proposed for the Education Department.

But Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos said at a brief­ing that funds for the initiatives “ do not come from other pro­gram s in the D epartm ent of Education.” He said, “ I don’t know where the money will come from but th a t’s another issue. These are new dollars.”

Some educators and politicians expressed concern that even at $22.3 billion for fis­cal 1990, the departm ental in­crease from 1989 will not m atch inflation and districts will have to cut back on basic program s for students who are disadvan­taged, handicapped, or limited in their English proficiency.

Bayh considers drug testing for new driversAssociated Press

INDIANAPOLIS -Gov. Evan Bayh m ay look into a federal pilot program to randomly test first-tim e drivers license appli­cants for drug use, a spokes­m an says.

“ It sounds like something we would want to look at seriously, but we’d like to see the proposal firs t,” said deputy press secre­tary Phil Schermerhorn.

Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., urged Bayh in a letter Tuesday to apply for the program , ap­proved by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act authorized by Congress last year. It calls for the federal government to fund four model drug testing program s in dif­ferent states.

“ Drug abuse continues to be a m ajor problem for our country and our s ta te ,” the freshm an senator said in the letter. “Approximately 10 per­cent of our population -23

million A m ericans- use illegal drugs on a regular basis. Even more shocking, however, are the statistics regarding the use of illegal drugs among our youth.”

Under the pilot program , states m ust deny driving privileges to those first-tim e applicants who test positive for drug use. Driving privileges could be reinstituted following three months if testing is re ­quired on a regular basis for nine months.

The four states, including one central state, will be chosen by Feb. 18, 1990.

“Young people should be taught that drug abuse has serious consequences, not only for them but also for those around them ,” Coats said. “ That is why I am asking that you m ake every effort to add Indiana to the list of those states which are being consid­ered .”

Library must meet student needs

The Association of Research Libraries’ ranking of the Notre Dame library as 74th is a misleading, yet revealing number. Unfortunately, the study does not measure the primary objective of a university li­brary: how well the library meets the needs of stu­dents and faculty.

The University has tried to focus on attracting top- notch faculty and raising faculty salaries for the past ten years. Yet, the most sought after professors are less likely to come to Notre Dame without the research facilities an exceptional library provides.

An excellent library should be a University priority.Specifically, there are two areas in which the library

could improve to better meet the needs of students: the increase in the number and availibility of qualified staff and the extension of library hours.

One revealing aspect of the ARL study was that only 14 schools had fewer staff members than Notre Dame. This situation must be remedied. In order to best meet the needs of the faculty and students, the library must increase the number of staff. With the increase in the number of qualified staff, we hope will come the extension of the Micro Text and AudioReserve readings department hours.

A problem not revealed by the rankings is the lim­ited time Notre Dame’s library is open for student and faculty use. Most university libraries, for instance the University of Pennsylvania’s and Harvard Uni­versity’s, are open 24 hours. However, extending the hours from approximately 16 to 24 does not seem practical at this time.

We recommend an extension of library hours for two hours on Sundays through Thursdays. Few stu­dents use the library during the morning hours be­cause of class schedules, and the extension of library hours would give students a quiet place for late study.

The increase in qualified staff and extension of li­brary hours are two problems that would help our library better meet student needs

Israel: Land of chaos and corruption

BY MICHAEL CARRIGAN

The sm all humble square is an unlikely spot for a holy site. A church tower rises towards the sky, stretching away from the darkened stones. The foundations of the ancient churches im press visitors with both their history, and the im ­portance of the site on which they rest. The square is peace­fully alive with shops and ven­dors. D iscarded cans and w rappers a re a rem inder of the modern age in this seemingly tim eless spot.

Like a sm all hint of rain, a gentle m ist gildes into the square. Soon its smell divulges the true identity of the cloud. It is not a gentle fog of rain, but the violent, burning am ­monia smell of tear gas. A bit­te r conflict spills into the square as the peace is shat­tered by shouts and gunshots. P ilgrim s and shopkeepers scurry inside as their places are taken by masked protesters and arm ed soldiers.

The place is the Israeli occu­pied west bank, and is also known as the m anger square in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ. This spot, one of the world’s holiest for Christians,

is not a place of peace but one of constant and often deadly violence. The irony of m anger square is not an exception in the holy land, but the rule. *

When the state of Israel was founded over 40 years ago, it was to be the antithesis of the Jew s’ most awful enemy: Hit­le r’s Germany. It was to be an example of dem ocracy, equality, freedom or religion and justice for all the world to turn. From the ashes of World War II, the Israeli people bravely challenged them selves to establish a better country in the land of their patriarchs.

Ironically, this ideal is no more reality today than it was in 1948. Today, the Israeli gov­ernm ent uses m any of the sam e methods to control the Pales­tinians that were used in Jewish persecutions for centuries. Regularly homes are sealed or destroyed and schools are closed. Arab leaders are har- rassed or imprisoned. Special licence plates, and personal identity cards single out P ales­tinians for detention and searches. The high ideals of the early Zionists have been yet an­other casualty of Israeli occu­pation and w ar with the Arabs.

Still another irony is fa r more

simple. Jews, Christians, and Moslems have fought, lived, and died for this land since the birth of their faiths. In the nam e of Yahweh, Christ, and Allah, each religion has made special claim to Israel, and preached of it’s importance. What is unbelievable is they fight for the land with one hand, and destroy it with another. Is­rael is a land covered with trash and litter, even in its most holy places. The roads linking the towns are lined with rusting cars and rotting litter. For all their speeches and weapons, all those who claim this land cannot even keep it clean.

Perhaps it is because this is God’s land that Israel is so complex and paradoxical. But hopefully one day the holy places in this land will no longer be surrounded by arm ed guards and litter, but peace and m utual respect. This should be a goal for all the world, not only because it will save lives, but because God would want it so, whether he or she is Yahweh, Christ, or Allah. Michael Carrigan is a junior government and Hesburgh Program major in Notre D am e’s Jerusalem Program.

Sports legend leaves ND

Dear Editor:As the 1988-89 athletic year

at Notre Dame comes to a close, I would like to recognize a certain Irish sports legend for long, devoted service to the University.

E arlie r in the year Roger Valdiserri relinquished his title of Sports Information Director in the athletic departm ent after serving for over 20 years in that capacity. In his long and dis­tinguished career, Roger be­cam e the standard by which all other SIDs are judged. He was regarded as the “ best in the business” and did his job with unprecedented profes­sionalism and integrity. He was the perfect publicity chief for Notre Dame. A graduate of the University, he typified everything Notre Dame stood for - a deep belief in academic credibility within the athletic departm ent, an unmatched drive for success on the field and a m anner of style and class unseen anywhere in athletic communications.

Over the years Roger helped countless young professionals

get started in the business. I was one of those. I served un­der Roger as an Assistant Sports Information Director for four years (1982-86) and it was the most enjoyable time of my career.

I ’m just one of m any who have been touched profes­sionally and personally by Roger. Thanks for everything,Roger. The University owes you a great deal of appreciation for such dedicated, loyal and devoted service.

ND foreigner wants change

Dear Editor:I have just arrived at Notre

Dame from China. I am con­cerned about getting the chance to practice my English often.

While I was in China, I knew someone who had graduated from M anchester University and lived in England for five years. But I was surprised that his English was quite poor.Why? I wondered about it.After I arrived at Notre Dame,

GARRY TRUDEAU QUOTE OF THE DAY

I saw that m any foreign stu­dents live with students from the sam e country. I was further surprised to find that all of the students are from the sam e country in a big graduate stu­dent office. So, I guess that m any foreign students only have the chance to practice their English in English class. I have found out why some­body’s English was very poor even after he lived in an English-speaking country.

In China, the school usually appoints a Chinese student to room with a foreign student, so the foreign student can benefit from this. I wonder why the Notre Dame adm inistration cannot do the sam e as the Chinese college adm inistra­tions. Let us merge.

The Bonfire of the Vanities'"A modern day Sodom" v n I

MISSY IRVINGaccent writer

Sherm an McCoy fancies himself a M aster of the

Universe. McCoy, the protagonist in Tom Wolfe’s riveting satire, “ The Bonfire of the Vanities,” takes the reader along on his tum ul­tuous odyssey through New York C ity -a t its grandest and a t its most pathetic. It is al­ways intimidating.

Although “ The Bonfire of the Vanities” was first pub­lished in 1987, it has recently been released in paperback and recom m ends itself as a thoroughly modern, provoca­tive sum m er reading sugges­tion.

McCoy is a young, ex­travagantly wealthy Wall S treet bond trader. He lives with an attractive, yet so­cially preoccupied wife, Judy, and an angelic 6-year-old daughter, Campbell, who a t­tends, “ the best schools, with the best girls, from the best fam ilies.” In addition, he en­joys a secret affair with the wily, adventurous, and gor­geous, M aria Ruskin who, as it turns out, is capable of being neither satisfied by nor loyal to a M aster of the Uni­verse. Yet McCoy is seemingly a m an who has everything.

“ The M asters of the Uni­verse were a set of lurid, rapacious, plastic dolls his otherwise perfect daughter liked to play with...On Wall Street he and a few others had become precisely t h a t -

M asters of the Universe... If you w eren’t making $250,000 a year, within five years you were either grossly stupid or grossly lazy. By age 40 you were m aking a million a year, or you were timid and incom petent.”

The first quarte r of the novel is devoted to illustrat­ing McCoy’s world and con­trasting it with the m iserable situations of the other charac­ters. The prelim inary chap­ters are the least enjoyable of the whole book, but patience for the first 150 pages is richly rewarded.

McCoy’s fortunes begin to plum m et rapidly when his m istress hits and fatally in­jures a 17-year-old black boy, Henry Lam b, from the Bronx projects. McCoy is wrongly accused of a hit-and-run, and it is in this setting that Wolfe depicts the ethnic idiosyncrasies and the vanities of New York’s finest and foulest.

The most commendable aspects of the book are Wolfe’s brilliant, hilariously overdrawn character sketches. The individuals who cross paths with McCoy rep­resent the stereotypes of every ethnic and economic group to be found in Wolfe’s conception of the late 1980s m orally decadent microcosm of New York.

The m em bers of the black community who rage for a m istaken justice are portrayed as dishonest, power-grabbing thugs. The Irish, Jews, and Italians who

constitute the employees of the New York District Attor­ney’s Office, which seeks to prosecute McCoy for a crim e he didn’t commit, are depicted as the lusty, prejudiced pawns of the black activists. The women in McCoy’s world, who inciden­tally don’t receive the sam e rich development Wolfe employs on the m ale charac­ters, a re either “social X- rays, the starved to near per­fection” wives of New York power brokers, or “ lemon ta r ts ,” the young, ambitious second wives or nighttime consorts of the elite.

Wolfe fashions a tantalizing portra it of a modern day Sodom and its culturally bereft inhabitants, to contrast with what he describes as McCoy’s occasional longing to re tu rn to the chaste and simple Midwest.

Nothing escapes attack by Wolfe’s savage wit. The politi­cal aspirations and financial aggrandizem ent that could be realized by a few subtle dis­tortions and coverups of the actual facts of the case result in the district atto rney’s of­fice engaging in a hastily con­spired, inescapable perver­sion of legal ethics. The tabloid, “ The City Light,” which circulates the myth that Lam b was an honor stu­dent and the victim of a rac ist playboy, is run by snobbish and unscrupulous Englishmen.

All the characters converge at McCoy’s grand jury hearing to lobby for their own

Wiskirchen's 30th Jazz FestivalKATHY KIRIN

accent writer

N otre Dame tradition lives on this weekend as the

31st annual Collegiate Jazz Festival gets underway once again. This year also m arks the 30th year that F ather George Wiskirchen has been involved with the Festival.

A noted cam pus music au­thority, Wiskirchen currently resides as associate director of bands and music. This weekend, however, Wiskir­chen’s more im portant duties lie in his position as faculty advisor for the Collegiate Jazz Festival.

As faculty advisor, Wiskir­chen in teracts prim arily with the students who are in charge of organizing and co­ordinating the weekend’s

B U ZZ M C FLA TTO P

events. Together, they solve any logistical problems, and work with the Offices of Se­curity and Student Activities to ensure that everything runs smoothly as planned.

However, Wiskirchen denies the im portance of his role in the Festival, stating that he only advises and guides the student organizers when nec­essary. “ My job actually m eans very little ,” he said. “ The students do all the w ork.”

W iskirchen’s connection with the Jazz Festival began in 1960, when he was respon­sible for introducing and directing various high school bands in the Festival. Thir­teen years later, in 1973, he began recruiting and super­vising collegiate big bands and jazz groups for the an­

nual event. This year will be his 10th as faculty advisor.

As W iskirchen’s role in the Festival evolved throughout the years, so has the form at of the Festival itself. Once a highly competitive event, the Festival now follows a non­competitive form at. Several bands and ensembles are se­lected and honored for their outstanding perform ances, but the basic prem ise of the event is to “ give various col­legiate jazz groups an oppor­tunity to play in a festival setting .”

One aspect of the Festival that has not changed is its reputation. The Collegiate Jazz Festival is the oldest and most prestigious of its kind, and as Wiskirchen stated, “ I would be the first to agree with th a t.”

selfish interests and to applythe pressure so that the cor­rect verdict is reached. At this point it becomes readily apparent that all are living various degrees of the sam e lie, that the m antle of in­tegrity and fairness in which they clothe them selves is m erely a foil for the actual falsity of their existences.

Wolfe reserves an arresting plot twist for the last 30 pages and offers a conclusion as satisfying as possible in light

of his theme.

For the price of $5.95, “ The Bonfire of the Vanities” of­fers exactly what it seeks to. “ I don’t know if you fully ap­preciate it or not, but you’ve broken a very im portant story with this Lam b and McCoy business. Oh, it’s sensational; but it’s much more than that. I t ’s a m orality play. Think of that for a m om en t, a m orality p lay.”

Kevin Hatcher (4) and the Washington Capitals beat Philadelphia goalie Ron Hextall (right) and the Flyers 3-2 in NHL playoff action Wednesday night. In other opening-round games, Pittsburgh beat the New York Rangers 3-1, Montreal ripped Hartford 6-2, Buffalo blanked Boston 6-0, Detroit nipped Chicago 3-2, St. Louis edged Minnesota 4-3 in overtime, Vancouver earned a 4-3 overtime victory over Calgary and Edmonton stopped Los Angeles by an identical4-3 score.

once they faced pitcher Jam es Shortall in the nightcap. The Irish stranded 10 baserunners in the second game.

“ I ’m still finding out some things about our team ,” said Murphy. “ There’s still some guys I want to go with and see where they’re going to be in the clutch. You’ve got to give them a chance to prove whether they can or can’t play.

“We’re sticking with some guys that m aybe we won’t have to go with in the future, we’ll see. We’re still finding our­selves as a team and we’re get­ting ourselves prepared for the rest of the season.”

Shortall went the distance for the Flam es, shutting out the Irish while scattering five hits and yielding six walks. P rio r to his s ta rt against the Irish, Shor­tall was 0-1 with a 6.94 ERA.

“ We got a good pitching per­form ance from Shortall, and the difference in the two gam es was control,” said Illinois- Chicago Head Coach Dean Refakes, whose team raised its record to 5-12. “ The big differ­ence was pitching. Once you keep the team in the gam e it’s a lot different on both sides.”

EXTRA BASES: Freshm an DH F rank Jacobs went 4-for-4 in the doubleheader, raising his season average to .269. Jacobs

had an RBI-triple in the first gam e and reached second base three tim es in the second gam e. . .OF Dan Peltier, dip­ping below .400 after an 0-for-7 perform ance against St. Louis over the weekend, went 5-for-8 in the doubleheader including a home run and 3 RBI, raising his average to .410.

The record-setting fifth in­ning in the first gam e was a spectacle to watch. Pesavento led off the inning with a double, and after a fly out by Craig Counsell, Peltier singled him home. Jam es Sass was hit by a pitch, and Joe Binkiewicz walked, loading the bases. Catcher Ed Lund doubled to right center, scoring Peltier and Sass. Mike Moshier fol­lowed with a single to left, scoring Binkiewicz and Lund. After a pitching change, Jacobs and Cory Mee both walked, loading the bases again.

Pesavento walked, advanc­ing all the runners one base, Moshier scoring. Then, the pitcher balked and all the run­ners moved up 90 feet, with Jacobs scoring. Counsell fol­lowed with a sacrifice fly, scoring Mee. Finally, with Pesavento on second, Peltier provided the final blow by blasting a home run over the centerfield fence.

Hershiser’s streak ends

* * A P P h o to '

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser had his record 59-inning scoreless streaksnapped Wednesday at Riverfront Stadium when Cincinnati Reds' first baseman ToddBenzinger hit a two-out, RBI-single in the first inning.

A s 11, Mariners 1 Braves 8, Astros 4

A ssocia ted P re ss

CINCINNATI - Orel H ershiser lost his magic and record shutout streak in his first inning of the season and later lost the gam e when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 Wed­nesday night.

Hershiser’s string stayed at 59 in­nings and was stopped when Todd Benzinger hit an RBI single with two outs. The run was set up by one of H er­shiser’s two throwing errors.

Hershiser, who did not allow a run in his final six regular-season sta rts last year, pitched seven innings and gave four runs, only two of them earned, on seven hits. The Cy Young winner and World Series MVP struck out six and walked one.

Hershiser got nicked again in the third on hard singles by E ric Davis, Benzinger and Paul O’Neill. Ron Oester opened the fourth with a double and scored when Hershiser fielded a sacrifice by pitcher Tom Browning but threw the ball past the dugout.

Cards 3, Mets 1

St. Louis spoiled Bob O ieda’s first s ta rt since he nearly severed the middle finger of his pitching hand and Willie McGee drove in two runs, leading the Cardinals past the New York Mets 3-1 Wednesday at New York.

The Cardinals snapped their 11-game losing streak in Shea Stadium and right-hander Jose DeLeon broke a per­sonal nine-game skid against the Mets.

Phillies 12, Cubs 4

Mike Schm idt’s three run homer capped a seven-run fourth inning Wed­nesday night at Chicago, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 12-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Schmidt’s homer off reliever Jeff Pico was his second in as m any days and the 544th of his career. Ron Jones also homered for the Phillies.

Twins 12, Yankees 2

Wally B ackm an’s single snapped a fifth-inning tie and sparked an eight- run inning capped by Brian H arper’s three-run homer, leading the Min­nesota Twins past the New York Yankees 12-2 Wednesday night in Min­neapolis.

H arper had three hits and drove in four runs to lead a 17-hit attack. Allan Anderson, last y ea r’s American League earned run average champion, allowed seven hits in seven innings to improve his record to 11-2 since June 24.

Pirates 3, Expos 0Doug Drabek pitched a two-hitter as

the P ittsburgh P irates beat the Montreal Expos 3-0 Wednesday night at Montreal.

Drabek, the P ira tes’ top winner at 15-7 last year, held the Expos to Hubie Brook’s single in the first inning and a single by Andres G alarraga in the seventh.

Padres 4, Giants 3

Jack C lark’s single keyed a three run third inning as the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 Wed­nesday at San Diego.

Angels 6, Chisox 2

Lance P arrish had four hits and Chili Davis hit a three-run homer Wednesday night at Anaheim, Calif., as the Cali­fornia Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 and snapped a 13 gam e losing streak dating back to last season.

Royals 2, Blue Jays 1

Danny Tartabull doubled with two outs in the ninth inning and scored on P a t T abler’s single Wednesday night at Kansas City, giving the Kansas City Royals a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Walt Weiss, who homered three times all of last season, homered twice Wed­nesday night a t Oakland and Bob Welch allowed four hits in eight innings as the Oakland Athletics beat the Seattle M ariners 11-1.

Weiss went 0-for-3 in Oakland’s opener, then homered off Scott Bankhead in the second and Tom Niedenfuer in the eighth.

Jeff Blauser put A tlanta ahead with a two-run double in the fourth inning and Gerald P erry added a pair of run- scoring doubles, leading the Braves to an 8-4 victory over the Astros Wednes­day night at Houston.

B lauser’s two-run double chased s ta rte r Bob Knepper after 3 2-3 innings and gave the Braves a 5-4 lead.

Los Angeles. Weak goaltending will doom the Kings, and Joey Mullen (51, 59) and JoeNieuwendyk (51, 31) will spark the Flam es past L A. and into the semifinals.

There Calgary will m eet St. Louis. Blues goalie Greg Millen

(3.38 GAA) will need an as­bestos jersey to keep the Flam es from engulfing the goalmouth. The Flam es will singe St. Louis, while in the other semifinal, the speed of players like Mats Naslund (33, 51) and defenseman Chris Chelios (15, 58) should lead Montreal past the talented Caps and into the finals to face Calgary.

And speed is what will help the Canadiens squeak by the Flam es in seven gam es in the finals. Coach T erry Crisp’s Cal­gary squad is a very physical team , while Montreal relies on quick, smooth skaters to score goals. These skaters will stymie the slower Flam es and lead the Canadiens to their 23rd Stanley Cup title.

Arizona star Elliott wins Wooden AwardAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES-Sean E l­liott, called the “ consummate team p layer” by his coach at Arizona, collected a distin­guished individual honor Wed­nesday when he was named the winner of the John R. Wooden Award for 1989.

Elliott, a 6-foot-8 senior for­ward, had finished third in the national balloting by sports w riters and sportscasters last year, behind winner Danny Manning and Hersey Hawkins.

This year, Elliott edged out such stars as Danny F erry of Duke, who also was among the five finalists for the 1988 Wooden Award. The other finalists this year were guards Sherman Douglas of Syracuse and Charles Smith of Geor­getown and center Stacey King of Oklahoma.

Elliott received 1,871 points in the voting, with F erry second at 1,721, followed by King with 895, Smith with 486 and Douglas with 356.

The winner was announced,

by Wooden himself, during a luncheon at the sponsoring Los Angeles Athletic Club.

“Wow,” Elliott said, tempo­rarily groping for words.

“ It feels good; with all the great players out there, I don’t think you can really nam e one guy. There are probably several guys out there more deserving than I am .”

But Arizona coach Lute Ol­son doesn’t think so.

“ I think he’s the consum­m ate team player. He’s at his best when his best is needed,” Olson said of Elliott, who averaged 22.3 points a game this season and had 2,555 career points to replace Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lew Alcindor) as the Pacific- 10’s all-time leading career scorer.

The guidelines for Wooden Award candidates extend beyond the ath lete’s ac­complishments on the court. To be eligible, a candidate must m aintain at least a 2.0 scholas­tic average and “ display strength and charac ter on and off the court.”

Bayliss. “ But he insisted on playing the doubles. Dave R eiter was also on medication and not up to p a r.”

Illness and a completely revised line-up were nothing com pared to what Notre Dame faced once they reached the land of the Boilermakers.

“ We went to the outdoor courts and they sent us to the indoor place across town,” said Bayliss. “When we got there, they told us to go back to the outdoor.”

The m atches began and the Irish looked as if they would soundly defeat Purdue. Then the rains cam e and the m atches had to be delayed 45 minutes before the indoor courts could be used.

The Irish journeyed back to the indoor sites, but because of time constraints, had only five minutes to w arm up on the ca r­peted courts.

“ I t ’s the only tim e this year we’ve played on carpet,” said Bayliss of the faster .surface. “ Purdue, on the other hand, practices there, so it was a big disadvantage.”

Bayliss claimed the change directly affected at least one m atch, Ryan W enger’s 6-4, 3-6, 4-6 loss to Brain Ritz. Wenger was up a set and winning 2-0 in

the second when the showers began and moved his third singles m atch indoors.

“ Mike was playing a sm art m atch in the wind outdoors and I think the adjustm ent totally hurt him ,” said Bayliss.

from W alter Dolhare, Brain Kalbas, Paul Odland and John Silk to lead 4-2 entering the doubles. In spite of the m akes­hift doubles roster, Bayliss was confident about Notre D am e’s chances.

Because of limited court time, Bayliss and Boilerm aker coach Ed Dixon agreed to cut possible third sets to simple tie­breakers. The decision cam e close to costing the Irish the match.

“ Our doubles combinations were completely thrown to­gether,” said Bayliss. “But I w asn’t worried. Then, one

doubles split and lost the tie­breaker. No. 2 doubles also lost a close m atch 7-5, 7-6.”

The third doubles duo of Wenger and Odland saved the day for the Irish by winning an eight-game pro set 8-5.

“ We had no tim e left so we decided to play a pro se t,” ex­plained Bayliss. “ Fortunately, our guys controlled the m atch from the beginning.”

Despite the difficulties, Bayliss was happy with the way his disabled team pulled together to come away with the expected victory.

“ Last y ea r’s team never would have won this m eet,” commented Bayliss. “ I t ’s not just that we re more talented but we have more determ ina­tion. We did not want to lose to Purdue.”

Bayliss also adm itted that a few m em bers of the young Boilerm aker squad played “ the m atches of their ca reers” to give Notre Dame a tough challenge. However, the Irish skipper was quick to commend Notre Dame freshm an John Silk, who won at sixth singles 7-6, 2-6, 6-4.

“John hasn’t played varsity often and he cam e off with a really big win,” Bayliss said.

The Irish now have a long layoff to rest and return to top form. They resum e action April 15 and 16 when they travel to St. Louis for the Midwestern Collegiate Conference tourna­ment.

Papers accuse Rose of using code-name

Associated Press

CINCINNATI-Pete Rose bet heavily on baseball games during the 1987 season under a code-name, two Ohio newspapers said Wednesday, citing uniden­tified sources.

If true, the Cincinnati Reds m anager could be banned from baseball for life if he bet on gam es in­volving his own club.

A person referred to in an Internal Revenue Service court affidavit as “ G -l”~ whom the Plain Dealer of Cleveland and the Cincinnati Post quoted sources as saying was R ose-bet $8,000 to $16,000 a day on games during a stretch early in the 1987 season.

Although Rose is not referred to by nam e in the IRS affidavit, the newspapers said they were told by federal sources the code nam e “ G -l” m eans Rose.

Rose declined comment on the newspaper reports.

The Post quoted the docu­ment as saying G-l bet an average of “ $2,000 per game on four to eight gam es per day, approxim ately four days per week.”

The IRS affidavit quoted unidentified government in­form ants as saying the bets were placed through Ronald Peters, 31, a Franklin, Ohio, cafe owner who was des­cribed in a Sports Illustrated

story as Rose’s principal bookmaker. P eters said Monday he would plead guilty to federal charges of tax evasion and cocaine dis­tribution.

P eters declined to tell reporters whether he had any knowledge of Rose having bet on baseball games. Peters, under pres­sure of his plea agreem ent with federal prosecutors, is cooperating with federal in­vestigators looking into drug trafficking.

The newspapers also re­ported the document indi­cates that Paul Janszen, a friend of Rose’s, urged Peters to pay a $50,000 gam ­bling debt the bookie owed Rose and Janszen.

The Plain Dealer said U.S. D istrict Court records show Janszen becam e an FBI in­form ant and began wearing a wireless microphone in April 1988 and that federal agents taped at least four conversations about the debt. Janszen’s lawyer, Mer- lyn Shiverdecker, declined comment on the reports.

While Rose has denied bet­ting on baseball and using bookies, he has adm itted he frequently bets at race tracks.

U.S. attorney D. Michael Crites declined comment on the reports or whether the government is investigating Rose.

Delany takes over Big TenAssociated Press

CHICAGO-James E. Delany, named commissioner of the Big Ten conference Wednes­day, called for fresh ideas to keep sports from overpowering the academ ic life of student- athletes.

“At this unique time in col­lege athletics, all is not well,” said Delany, a 41-year-old lawyer completing his 10th year as Ohio Valley Conference commissioner.

“ I think it’s im portant to find a better balance,” he said. “There’s got to be a way to m ake sure education is first. And I don’t think th a t’s the case in all institutions today.”

Delany will take over July 1

for Wayne Duke, who is re tir­ing after 18 years as commis­sioner.

“ He is a person of unques­tioned integrity, who has dem ­onstrated exceptional ability,” said Stanley O. Ikenberry, president of the University of Illinois and head of the Big Ten’s governing board. “We look to him to provide leader­ship not only to our conference, but to provide leadership on the national level as well.”

Delany said the problem of boosters and sports agents cor­rupting student athletes with money is worse now than it was 10 years ago.

“ Sometimes the values of pure capitalist competition is in conflict with educational

values,:’ he said.The pressures of big-time

sports, television and national championships can be too much for some young men who enter college to play football or basketball, Delany said.

“ There has been tinkering with NCAA rules ... but in my opinion there has not been reform ,” said the new Big Ten commissioner, who played v ar­sity basketball a t North Carolina and twice m ade it to Final Four competition.

Masters take aim at AugustaKite predicts softer greens will favor aggressive golfersA ssociated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga -“ I t ’s a dif­ferent course this y ea r,” Tom Kite said of the site for the 53rd M asters.

The first of golf’s four m ajor annual tournam ents has not been moved from the Augusta National Golf Club, but the splendid old place is just not the sam e, in K ite’s view.

The difference is on the greens, he said.

“ They’re fast, fast as ever,” Kite said. “ But they’re a little softer.”

And that could m ake a m ajor difference in the tournam ent which begins today, suggested the tough little man who has come so close so often here among the azaleas and dog­wood, the w isteria and redbud that color the course built by the legendary Bobby Jones.

“The last couple of years, the leaders have just been trying not to lose,” Kite said.

“ With the greens softer, more receptive to a shot now, there’s the possibility of some­body making a charge over the last nine holes, coming out of pack and winning the tourna­m ent.”

The greens could be even softer if the th reat of rain be­comes real.

The forecast calls for the pos­sibility of heavy rains and thun­derstorm s on Friday and again on Sunday, the day the tourna­ment is scheduled to end.

“We could be here Monday,” M asters chairm an Hord H ar­din said.

A P P h o to

Greg Norman, right, and Arnold Palmer, a four-time winner of the Masters, have a few laughs in a practice round this week at Augusta National Golf Club. Play begins today.

“ If we are unable to complete play F riday and m ake the cut, we could be in trouble,” Hardin said. “ We’ll just have to wait and see.”

So will the starting field of 85 of the world’s finest players and a gallery of about 40,000.

Kite is on the short list of

players most likely to be in title contention over those last nine holes.

So are defending title-older Sandy Lyle of Scotland, British Open champion Seve Balles­teros of Spain, a revived Greg Norman of Australia and American hopes Curtis Strange and M ark Calcavecchia.

Bolcar anchors linebackersBack-ups getting plenty of work during spring practiceBy MOLLY MAHONEYSports Writer

When describing a lineback­er, the word thin is probably not the first adjective to come to mind.

In fact, most people see the intense eyes of a linebacker hovering behind the defensive line and are more prone to ascribe words like tough, pow­erful or quick to the hard-nosed players seen slashing through the offensive line to sack the quarterback or standing up running backs trying find open field.

But in this case, it is not an individual linebacker, but the entire corps which is looking a bit em aciated lately.

Last season, the Irish had one of the strongest linebacking trios in the nation, with fifth- year senior and “ m ike” linebacker Wes P ritchett leading the team in tackles.

And on paper, with two m em ­bers of that trio-N ed Bolcar and Michael S tonebreaker- back next year, the Irish look to be a defensive force once again.

But with the impending graduation of P ritchett and the unexpected loss of Stonebreaker from spring workouts after his Feb. 25 car accident, the linebacking ranks have been ra ther thin this spring.

So Ned Bolcar, who will return as a fifth-year senior and one of next y ea r’s tri­captains, has borne much of the burden in guiding the young and inexperienced corps of linebackers in spring practice.

Besides Bolcar, the only scholarship athletes with linebacking experience are sophomore Bonn Grimm and

Mike Smalls. And three walk- ons, juniors Joe F arrell, Chris Shey and freshm an John F a r ren, round out the Irish linebackers.

“ I think they will be strong,” defensive coordinator B arry Alvarez said of the seven players vying for a linebacking position this spring. “ But right now, they’re a little thin.

“We’re grateful for the three walk-ons, because without them, it would be difficult to have a good practice. They are doing a nice job, and do w hatever we ask of them with­out even thinking tw ice.”

Bolcar, who played both “ eagle” and “ m ike” linebacker positions last season, has moved into the eagle slot and has been the elder statesm an for the linebackers this spring.

He finished last season ranked fourth in tackles with 57, seeing action in all 12 games, and the coaches have looked to Bolcar to exercise his captain’s duties frequently this spring.

“ Ned’s a good leader,” said Alvarez. “ His play has really improved during spring drills and it helps having a second- year captain’s leadership out there to push the younger p layers.”

Bolcar sees his role in the sam e light.

“ I realize we don’t have a lot of depth,” said Bolcar, “ so they count on me to do a good job and be a leader.

“ A linebacker has got to be the captain of the defense and keep the guys together on the field, so I try to lead by exam ­ple on and off the field and hopefully help the defense to come up with big plays.”

Stonebreaker’s recent clash

with the law m ay not hinder his playing in the fall, but it is yet to be seen whether a broken kneecap and dislocated hip will keep the top candidate for next y ea r’s Butkus Award from re ­turning to top form.

Stonebreaker, a consensus All-American last season en route to finishing third in the running for the Butkus Award given to the nation’s top linebacker, could leave a con­siderable void at the eagle linebacker position if he cannot fully recover.

“ Mike should be ready to play in the fall,” said Alvarez. “ H e’s ahead of schedule and healing well and the doctors are happy with his progress.”

But with Stonebreaker ab­sent from spring practices, other players, such as Grimm and Smalls, have stepped for­ward to m ake their presence felt.

Smalls has helped fill the eagle linebacker spot, while G rim m ’s versatility has al­lowed him to play the eagle or mike linebacker, depending upon the team ’s needs.

“ I think Mike Smalls is really learning the gam e and I ’m pleased with his toughness and aggressiveness,” said Alvarez. “ I think he’s going to be a good football player for us.

“ And I am really pleased with the progress Bonn Grimm has made. He’s been working very hard for us this spring.”

Both will help the Irish con­tinue using the linebacker corps on a rotating basis, such as the three-m an rotation employed last year with P ritchett, Stonebreaker and Bolcar.

ND fencing teams foiled in bids for national titleBy CHRIS FILLIOSports Writer

While the 1989 NCAA fencing season is now over, thoughts of what could have been will rem ain for some time in the minds of the Irish.

For the m en’s squad, it was a fourth-place finish behind repeating national champion Columbia, while Penn State and Penn cam e in second and third, respectively.

The women’s team took third as the Wayne State Spartans also defended their title, with Columbia taking second place.

Neverthless, both results were disappointing-and shocking-to say the least.

“ Obviously I am disap­pointed, more for the kids than for m yself,” said Irish head co­ach Michael DeCicco. “ I t ’s pos­sible that they m ay have let something slip through their fingers.”

For the women especially, the loss was tough to handle. While they were able to defeat eventual national champ Wayne State on two different occasions this year, the breaks simply did not go in their favor.

In the loss to Columbia, which decided the right to fence WSU for first place, the Irish suffered a key setback when a simultaneous touch was called against them. As a result, they tied Columbia in bouts but lost in overall touches. Wayne State went on to dispose of Columbia in the final, winning its second straight national champion­ship.

“ Everything seemed to be going as planned,” said DeCic­co, “ until we lost that sim ulta­neous touch to Columbia.”

Senior captain Janice Hynes placed sixth overall in individ­ual standings, earning second- team All-America honors. Senior Kristin Kralicek took 10th, while freshm an Heidi P iper was 13th in her first year of collegiate action. Senior Brenda Leiser and sophomore Lynn Kadri also competed for the Irish in the team com peti­tion.

DeCicco commented on the need for a gold-medal con­tender to pace the women’s team . Four tim e All-American Molly Sullivan propelled the Irish to the national title two

years ago in her junior year.“ Next year we’ll still have

the nucleus of a very good team ,” noted DeCicco, “ but we’ll have to develop the caliber of gold medal perform ers necessary to lead the team .”

The women will look to K ris­tin Kralicek next year, as she has m ade tentative plans to ap­ply for her final year of eligibility. In addition, fresh­m an phenom P iper will re turn following a successful rookie season.

In m en’s foil, senior Yehuda Kovacs took seventh and g ar­nered All America honorable mention. Junior Derek Holeman was 30th in his first year at the NCAA tournam ent.

“ I feel bad for Yehuda be­cause the gold m edal was one of the few goals he had left to accom plish,” said DeCicco. “ Following his first lost bout, he struggled and couldn’t re tu rn from that initial se t­back. Unfortunately, the Penn State fencer who won the gold is someone that Yehuda has beaten several tim es in the p ast.”

Sophomore sabrem an Les- zek Nowosielski placed fifth overall, making him a second- team All-American. Classm ate Dave Kirby finished 17th, just m issing the final round of 16 by a single touch. Both fencers had strong showings over the season and will undoubtedly continue to be a potent force next year.

In the epee competition, team captain Ted Fay was 12th while Niles, Mich., native Todd Griffee took 18th. The Irish will have a tough tim e next year in their efforts to replace the two senior epeeists.

“ I ’m very hopeful with some of the recruits we have coming in for next y ea r,” said DeCicco.

While both WSU and Columbia graduate only a few seniors and retain several strong individuals, the Irish have the makings of a solid al­beit young team with in­credible potential.

Right now they m ay be but a step away from that champion­ship season.

be just a step away from returning to the top of the collegiate ranks.

Who needs practice anyway?Freshman Haugh takes 2nd in U.S. on six days’ work

By BARB MORANSports Writer

H ere’s a scenario:A varsity athlete at a Divi­

sion I university cannot com­pete in, or even practice, her specialty event during the season.

Now imagine this sam e ath­lete finishing second in the United States and 26th in the world in her event, for which she practiced only six days before competition.

Hard to believe?It shouldn’t be. Freshm an

fencer Rachel Haugh has done all this and more in her first year at Notre Dame, even though the odds seem stacked against her.

Because Haugh’s specialty event, epee, does not exist in NCAA women’s competition, she practices only foil during the regular season.

“Training for epee doesn’t help the team since we only compete in foil during the season,” said Haugh. “Train­ing with foil doesn’t hurt your epee perform ance, though, as

long as you know your weapon.”

Rachel Haugh knows her weapon.

In 1988, she placed second in the women’s national under-20 division in epee, and fifth in the junior circuit event. This year, she already has captured first place in the U.S. Junior Olym­pics in Colorado, and 26th in the Junior World Championships in Greece. During her 10-day trip to Greece, which she returned from last Thursday, she had six days to practice and rem em ber the event which she had laid aside for the regular season.

With all the on- and off­season travelling, Haugh often finds herself catching up on her heavy workload on long plane rides and nights after competi­tions. Despite the hard work and extensive travel, Haugh has never doubted whether or not i t’s all worth it.

“ I have no doubts a t all, it’s definitely worth it,” said Haugh. “ I love fencing and am very pleased with Notre Dame. The fencing program and the coaching staff here are teriffic-

-(coach) Yves Auriol is definitely the best there is .”

Haugh’s relationship with women’s coach Auriol has ex­isted since she began fencing in sixth grade at the Portland, Ore., club which Auriol founded.

“ I ’ve known Rachel for a long tim e,” the coach said. “ She has g reat desire and is a hard worker. She’s going to be a big help for the team in the next three years, and I’m glad to see her doing so well in epee nationally.”

Haugh becam e involved in fencing through her older bro­ther John, who also began his career at Auriol’s club. John was a m em ber of the 1986 Notre Dame NCAA championship team .

Fencing and Notre Dame run in the Haugh family. R achel’s twin sister Kellv is a team m ate at Notre Dame, and her other sister Bryn is a m em ber of the Saint M ary’s fencing team .

“We’ve been Notre Dame fans since we were kids,” said Rachel of herself and her siblings.

Just in Time gets disqualified as Bookstore XVIII continuesBy GREG GUFFEYAssistant Sports Editor

Just when it looked like all five players on 4 Guys With a Future and an American Studies M ajor didn’t have a fu­ture, justice stepped in.

The clock ran out Tuesday on Just in Time, as prelim inary action continued in Bookstore Basketball XVIII. Ju st in Time defeated 4 Guys With a Future and an American Studies Major 21-8, but tournam ent of­ficials realized after the game that the winners had used an illegal player.

Jim Fleisher played for We Dribble But Skiko Scores in its21-5 win Monday afternoon and then took the court for Just in Time Wednesday. He was sub­bing for Jim K arrels, who could not m ake it to the game.

Who ever said wins had to be pretty?

Certainly not the Notre Dame m en’s tennis team , which had to struggle through sickness, rain and an un­fam iliar surface in order to defeat Purdue 5-4 on Tuesday.

Irish head coach Bob Bayliss said the win cam e despite the “worst-case scenario” facing Notre Dame.

The 16-9 Irish traveled to West Lafayette knowing they would be without the services of Mike Wallace. In addition, No. 1 player Dave DeLucia was sidelined from the singles com­petition with the flu.

‘‘Dave was just too weak to play singles,” rem arked

officials cam e to the realization that he had played for another team earlier in the tourney. After the game, officials aw arded the win to 4 Guys With a Future and An American Studies Major.

“ I thought I could play for another team as a substitute. I didn’t know the rules explicit­ly ,” Fleisher said after the game.

“ I t’s kind of a cheap way to win, but it’s nice to get further in the tourney,” said Leo Leone, a m em ber of the team that advanced. “ It will be fun to play another gam e.”

It was the first time an illegal player had played this year, a l­though tourney officials caught a player that had played on an­other team before his second gam e started.

There were several close gam es Wednesday, as 29 other team s advanced out of the pre­

lim inary round.One Jerk Too Many downed

Irish split with Flames; Peltier sets RBI mark

Notre Dame third baseman Mike Coss fires to first while shortstop Pat Pesavento (12) looks on in Wednesday's action at Jake Kline Field. The Irish split a doubleheader against Illinois-Chicago.

By SCOTT BRUTOCAOSports Writer

It was a day of extrem es on Wednesday as the Notre Dame baseball team split adoubleheader with Illinois- Chicago, winning the first gam e 13-2 and losing the second5-0.

In the first gam e, junior Dan Peltier becam e the all-time RBI leader with 131 in his career. Peltier set the record in the fifth inning, when he sin­gled to center to score Pat Pesavento from second base.

It took Peltier 125 gam es to break 1988 graduate Tim Hut­son’s record of 128. Hutson set the record in 160 games.

“ I can’t believe that there can be too many better hitters in any other college anywhere than Dan P eltie r,” said Irish head coach P at Murphy. “He’s undoubtedly one of the top

players that ever played here at Notre Dame, and I think he’ll go on and have a good career someday, but he’s still got to improve, and he knows th a t.”

P eltie r’s single in the fifth was not only a record-breaker but also the beginning of a m as­sive offensive outburst by the Irish, who now own a 16-6 record. In that inning, the Irish scored 10 runs, a season record.

After setting that record in the fifth, the Irish would not score again. In the second gam e, the Irish could only m uster five hits, all singles, without a run.

“ In the second game, we didn’t play with much enthusi­asm ,” said Murphy. “ We didn’t hit the ball the way we had to. We got complacent. The first gam e took three hours; the second gam e went by quick. We

Canadiens en route to another Stanley CupLast year at this tim e it appeared as though the

Calgary Flam es and Montreal Canadiens would breeze through the Stanley Cup playoffs and collide head-on in the Finals. Neither team survived past the quarterfinals, however, and the Edmonton Oilers drank cham pagne from the Stanley Cup.

But this year it will be a different story. Montreal and Calgary are head and shoulders above the rest of the league. Both team s boast stingy defenses and superb goaltending, and have benches deep enough to give opposing coaches nightm ares.

H ere’s how the NHL playoff picture shapes up:Patrick Division: The Philadelphia F lyers own the

league’s best power play, and goalie Ron Hextall (3.23 goals-against average) is always a th reat to get hot in the playoffs. The Flyers are not as strong as they used to be on defense, however, and should lose to Washington, the division champs, in the first round.

The New York Rangers lost 14 of their last 17 gam es, and it’s doubtful that GM Phil Esposito’s firing of coach Michel Bergeron one week before the playoffs will shake any life into the comatose Rangers. League scoring champ Mario Lemieux (85 goals, 114 assists), winger Rob Brown (44, 66) and defenseman Paul Coffey (30, 83) should spark the Pittsburgh Penguins past New York in the first round.

Pittsburgh lacks the playoff experience to beat

the Washington Capitals, however. The Caps are notorious for choking in the playoffs, but a solid defense anchored by Scott Stevens should power them past the Flyers and Penguins.

Adams Division: The Buffalo Sabres are 5-0-3 in eight gam es this year against their first-round op­ponents, the Boston Bruins. The Bruins will dearly miss injured sparkplug Ken “The R at ” Linseman (27, 45) and should lose to Buffalo despite holding the home ice advantage.

The Hartford Whalers should be easy first-round prey for Montreal unless the trio of Kevin Dineen (45, 44), Ron Francis (29, 48), and Ray F erraro (42, 35) catch fire. M ontreal’s superior skaters will h a r­poon the Whalers and then take advantage of Buf­falo’s goaltending woes to advance to the Stanley Cup semifinals.

Norris Division: The league’s weakest division will be singing the Blues as St. Louis, which went 12-4-2 in its last 18 gam es, continues to skate well. In the first round, St. Louis should easily dispose of the

slumping Minnesota North Stars, who will play without injured leading scorer Dave Gagner (35, 43).

Meanwhile the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Black Hawks will square off in a meeting of two team s that fizzled at the end of the season. Super­center Steve Yzerman (65, 90) and winger Gerard Gallant (39,54) should power Detroit past the woeful Black Hawks, but they will not slow down the Blues, who have beaten Detroit three straight times. The home ice advantage won’t save the Wings against the Blues, who will unceremoniously dump Detroit into Lake Michigan for a season-ending ice bath.

Smythe Division: Wayne Gretzky (54, 114) should lead the Los Angeles Kings past his form er Edm on­ton Oiler team m ates in a first-round shootout. The Oilers, led by 100-point scorers J a r i Kurri and Jim m y Carson, simply a ren ’t the sam e now that Gretzky is gone, and will give up too m any goals to win this grudge match, which should go seven games.

C algary’s first-round opponents will be the Van­couver Canucks, an excellent defensive team which is led by its goalie tandem of Steve Weeks (2.98 GAA) and Kirk McLean (3.08 GAA). Vancouver lacks the offensive firepower to beat Calgary, however, and the F lam es will advance to play
